U.S. Questions Pakistani Politician on Opposition to Drones 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
A leading Pakistani politician and campaigner against U.S. drone attacks
was detained and questioned over his political views on Friday while
trying to enter the United States. Imran Khan says he was taken off of a
flight from Toronto to New York City and interrogated by U.S. agents
about his public opposition to drones. Announcing the episode after his
questioning, Khan tweeted: "My stance is known. Drone attacks must
stop." Earlier this month, Khan led a march of thousands of people in
Pakistan to rally against the drones.
